Mike, guess you missed my post of last week. Check your
regulator. This could very well be the problem. I JUST went through this with mine
and it WAS the regulator. Just because the stove works "great" does not
mean the regulator is good for the fridge service. Easiest check is to take
your barbecue tank and regulator, everyone has one of these, right ? and
hook it up to the line to the fridge at the tank where you can take it off
the regulator there. You will need a male ~ male union for the flare
connectors. If it works fine then you need a new regulator, Marshall Brass 290
for horizontal service.
>>>>>Vanners,
My dometic has been cleaned, orifice cleaned, chimney blown out, works
great
on the bench.
But at sea level the flame is weak and blows out when driving. Won't run
at
altitude unless I hold the starting gas button in.
Stove works great.
Any ideas?<<<<<<<<<
